You'll want to read this article, originaly published (October, 2012)  in daily.mail.uk about Taylor Bowls.

It includes some great photos of the bowls production process!

 Just some of the tidbits you'll also find in this article –

  • It is a superpower in the world of lawn green and crown green bowls.
  • More than 12.8million different variations of bowls are produced in the small factory, which employs 52 staff, most of whom have worked at the plant for decades.
